Abstract
An application system capable of providing a continuation of care for a user. This is achieved through the assessing of medication compliance, assessing medical testing compliance and providing appropriate care suggestions. The system incorporates medication reminder, medication compliance analytics and the capacity to provide responses to user specific medication inquiries. The system also incorporates medical test assessment capabilities and the capacity to provide basic medical testing protocols. Additionally, as medication and medical testing data are collected, processed and analyzed, they are stored in a zero-click fashion with results being rapidly presented back to the user via an interactive avatar. These data can also be provided in standard of care summaries to users, HIPAA compliant third parties and/or medical care providers.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a system capable of running on an internet and/or cellular network to deliver virtual continued care using an Electronic Caregiving Image (ECI) avatar within an Electronic Caregiver application on a connected device. The connected device is connectable to an Object Recognition Blueprint (ORB) and cloud-based storage utilities, and the ORB stores medication data including customizable drug interaction data.
The cloud-based storage utilities store current medication reminders for the user, each reminder including a time, date, and dosage of medication to be consumed. Immediately upon user access of the Electronic Caregiver application, a single encrypted pathway system connects the connected device to the ORB and the cloud-based storage utilities, and push notifications are transmitted at a time indicated in the reminder data to inform the user of appropriate medication and dosage.
The connected device supports identifying the user and recognizing medication being taken using a mobile device camera system with facial recognition, object recognition, and motion recognition software. The motion recognition software monitors user actions during medication consumption and the connected device transmits a verification output verifying that the user actions have been performed to the ORB.
Claims Coverage
The consolidated content includes one independent claim with multiple dependent claims. The coverage concentrates on virtual continued care using an ECI avatar, ORB-stored customizable medication interaction data, cloud-stored medication reminders with push notifications over a single encrypted pathway, and camera-based facial, object, and motion recognition with transmission of verification output to the ORB.
Virtual continued care with ECI avatar via connected Electronic Caregiver application
A connected device with an Electronic Caregiver application provides virtual continued care using an Electronic Caregiving Image (ECI) avatar within the application.
ORB medication data with customizable drug interaction data
An Object Recognition Blueprint (ORB) stores medication data comprising customizable drug interaction data for a user.
Cloud medication reminders with push notifications over internet/cellular connectivity
Cloud-based storage utilities store current medication reminders including a time, date, and dosage, and transmit push notifications at a time indicated in current medication reminder data to inform the user of appropriate medication and dosage.
Single encrypted pathway system connection for medication-time notification
Immediately upon user access of the Electronic Caregiver application, a single encrypted pathway system connects the connected device to the ORB and the cloud-based storage utilities.
Camera-based facial recognition, object recognition, and motion recognition
The connected device comprises a mobile device camera system with facial recognition software for recognizing the user, object recognition software for recognizing medication being taken, and motion recognition software monitoring user actions during medication consumption.
Transmission of verification output to the ORB
The connected device transmits a verification output verifying that the user actions have been performed to the ORB.
OpenFDA API drug safety and recall information scrubbing in ORB
The ORB environment uses an OpenFDA API to scrub information on drug adverse events and drug recall enforcement reports.
Drug interaction risk data generation from medication timing and known side effects
The ORB generates drug interaction risk data based on medication timing and known side effects to assess a risk of possible interaction and an adverse reaction.
Overall, the independent claim centers on a connected-device virtual caregiving application with an ECI avatar, backed by an ORB holding customizable drug interaction data and cloud utilities holding medication reminders that trigger push notifications through a single encrypted pathway. The connected device uses facial recognition, object recognition, and motion recognition to monitor medication consumption and transmits verification output to the ORB.
